Glenfiddich 15 Year Solera Reserve

Good solid scotch...sweet finish

Great

Typical sweet Scotch smell, with perhaps a bit of smoke lying in wait. Leaving a sip in your mouth brings out the smoke, even infuses it into your taste buds. Swallowing immediately leads to a mellow finish, while opening for air allows an explosion of honeycomb to come to life. Overall a great Scotch balance.

easy to drink, good whisky for casual hangout

Glenfiddich 15 is a well known and easy to find single malt with some rich enjoyable flavors. I think this used to be 43% ABV in the US but unfortunately it looks like it’s 40% now. The color is dark brown and looks too unnatural. You can find many dried fruits in the nose like raisins and figs. There are also a few nuts and weak spices in the background. The palate is sweet and creamy with brown sugar and vanilla. The finish is nice with leather and toffee. This is a good step up from the Glenfiddich 12 and a great recommendation for beginners. The flavors are rich, but not complex. While this whisky is enjoyable to drink, it’s not something I’d buy again at this price point.

It is indeed silky smooth. If you can afford it, it's a nice way to introduce people to the world of scotch.

Smooth and balanced
